It’s September, 2026. And Big Tech is still doing what they’ve always done: thinking of profit over user satisfaction, disregarding people’s choices and cramming their products with stuff nobody asked for.At Vivaldi, we continue to work for a better web. In the 13 years since we were founded, we’ve stuck to the straight and narrow and never forgotten our mission: developing the browser that people deserve. A powerful, personal and private browser. One full of useful features that help you find joy in your daily browsing; one that lets you customize things to your liking; one that doesn’t spy on you.This update is just one more iteration of our message. Here’s what’s new:Built-in calculator in your Address FieldDividing the cost of a gift among friends, adding some numbers for a work report or calculating the grams of flour in a recipe…Who hasn’t been browsing and needed to do some quick math?Thanks to our new local calculator, you can do quick and private calculations, directly on the URL field. No need to switch apps or open new tabs. Click enter, and the result will get copied into your clipboard, so you can easily paste it wherever you need it. Performing local calculations was already possible on our Quick Commands menu. But in true Vivaldi fashion, we now give you more ways to do it, so you can choose what works best for you.If you would rather not see these results on the Address Field, you can of course turn it off by going to Settings > Address Bar > Address Field Suggestions, and unchecking the “Local calculator” box. PS. Don’t worry about how simple the math is. The calculations you perform on the URL field are safe from prying eyes and will not be saved anywhere, not even your History.Better PWA discoverabilityProgressive Web Apps (PWAs) are websites that can be installed on your machine and run as separate apps, getting their own app icon on the dock and their own entry on the task switcher – all while being powered by Vivaldi.But how can you know which sites are PWAs? Before, the path to install a PWA was somehow buried in a context menu. Now, whenever a site offers a PWA, you’ll see an “Install” icon right in the Address Field, making its installation easier than ever.You can see all your installed PWAs and their settings by going to vivaldi://apps. But if you ever forget you already had it installed, when you return to the same webpage, you’ll see an icon on the Address Field prompting you to open it in the app. And if you’re worried about storage space – don’t! It’s actually only a small manifest file and icon that’s actually downloaded; the app is running from the web server (or in-browser if the author has coded it to work offline).At Vivaldi, we love the web because it works on any device and any operating system, and we believe apps should do the same. PWAs do just this – the universal reach of the Web, but with the look and feel of native apps.A peek into what’s comingThrough the years, we’ve been expanding our offering to make Vivaldi available for all platforms (even cars!). But we are aware that many of you still face an impediment to use it everywhere: getting permission to use it at your workplace.That’s why our team has been developing an enterprise version: a real alternative to Big Tech browsers, built for organizations of all sizes—from businesses and public institutions, to government departments and schools. For this first technical preview, we’ve been working on getting policy management and browser customization for organizations. Now, we want to hear from you, so that your feedback can shape the path forward. How would the ideal Vivaldi for Enterprise look for you?
